(mean free path) =
n → No. of moles in volume v NA ® Avogadro's Number
The motion of the gas molecules freezes at 0K not 0° C
Average kinetic Energy per molecule per degree of freedom is (for Mono atomic gases)

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
When the gas is compressed adiabatically, the total work done on the gas increases its internal energy which in turn increases the KE of the gas molecule and hence, the collisions between molecules also increases.

(a), (c) pV=nRT
(a) when pressure p =constant
volume is directly proportional to temperature
(b) when T= constant
from PV =constant
so the graph is rectangular hyperbola
(c) when V =constant
from pressure is directly proportional to temperature.
So the graph is straight the passes through the origin.
PV
PV/T=constant
So the graph hence through origin. So d is correct.

(a), (d) The total energy associated with the molecule is
E=
The number of independent terms in the above expressions is 5. So we can predict velocities of molecule by maxwell's distribution, hence the above expression obeys maxwell 's distribution .

So 2 rotational and 3 translational energies are associated with each molecule
So rotational energy at a given temperature is 2/3 of the translational KE of each molecule.

(c) According to kinetic theory, we know walls only exert perpendicular forces on molecule. They do not exert parallel force . so there is only change in translational motion.
So pV=2/3E
Where E is representing only translational part of energy.

(b), (d) due to the presence of external positive charge on face ABCD. The usual expression for pressure on the basis of kinetic energy will not be valid as ions would also experience electrostatic force. So presence of positive charge the isotropy is also lost.

(d) pV=nRT
So n= PV/RT
As number moles are fixed
P2=p1V1 (T2/V2T1)
=
= P

(b) For a function f (v), the number of molecules n=f (v) which are having speeds between v and v+dv
So f1 (v) and f2 (v) will obey's maxwell distribution law

(d) When number of molecules breaks then number of moles would become double.

P where n is the number of moles and T is temperature of ideal gas
As gases breaks number of moles becomes twcice of initial so n2 =2n1
= 20
p2=20p1
so 20 times
